Creamy Sriracha Hummus

If you are a hummus lover, you owe it to yourself to try this incredible Sriracha hummus recipe. It’s so simple to make that buying pre-packaged hummus will become a thing of the past in no time.

The beautiful texture of hummus really makes it a great dip and you can make this healthy vegan recipe even healthier by using lesser olive oil in the hummus as well as tahini. To thin the hummus, use a little bit of water instead.

It’s a great dip to have at parties and serve it with some homemade hot pita and you have a winner!

Soak the raw chickpeas overnight in water. The next day, pressure cook them for 4-5 whistles or cook them on high flame in some water till they become soft and are well cooked. You can also use pre-cooked canned chickpeas instead.

In a blender add the cooked chickpeas and lemon juice and blend it for a couple of minutes. Then add the rest of the ingredients except for 1 tablespoon of olive oil and paprika to the blender.

Blend all the ingredients together to form a smooth paste, while occasionally scrapping the sides of the blender.

If the consistency of the hummus isn't smooth enough , add a couple of tablespoons of water, 1 at a time till you achieve the desired consistency.

Serve the hummus in a deep set plate or a bowl and drizzle it with the remaining olive oil and paprika.

Enjoy it with pita and veggies.
